Ever self-important, you\u2019ll certainly recognize yourself if called upon,
\nYou\u2019re now officially put on notice, so perhaps the light begins to dawn.
\nConspicuously conceited, stuck up, so very vain, and also ever laden
\nWith Freudian attention-seeking tendencies–you\u2019re always misbehaving.
\nI heard you berate a much put-upon teller at the bank the other day,
\nIn tones devoid of care or even a molecule or smidgeon of fair play.
\nSuperciliously asking in superior tones, \u201cDo you know who I am?\u201d
\nAs if at that exact moment, she tearfully really couldn\u2019t care,
\nWondering if she was your usual, tension-relieving, sacrificial lamb.
\nShe looked down and didn\u2019t answer you; she didn\u2019t even dare.<\/p>\n
You undertip servers, talk down to others, and always cut in line,
\nEschew any small talk, and in high dudgeon, rudeness define.
\n\u201cNow, Madame,\u201d injured, he now responds in a pique of spite.
\n\u201cHow can you say so? It\u2019s just not right! This smear will not work.
\nI\u2019ve never cheated on my taxes, nor womanhood besmirched.
\nI support politically correct causes, tithe ten percent at the church,
\nWatch my weight, eat a vegetarian lunch, and regularly run laps,
\nSo take care to mind your business, or do you own manners lapse.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
